Wow, Celeste, it really looks like you have made progress! Doing paperwork, especially insurance type things are the worst for me, so I am so impressed by your hard work!
I hope that your Mom is doing ok with the upcoming move!

I hope that your Mom is doing ok with the upcoming move! Thanks, CCL! Yes, the paperwork and I are not good friends, but I am dealing with it. Despite getting a lot done, my perfectionist tendency is making me feel like I'm losing a race. I have to remind myself that the critical stuff is: - Mom
- bed/sheets
- Enough clothing for the first few days
- personal care items for the first few days
- Facility paperwork
Anything else is nice, but not mandatory, particularly when the facility will handle some of the insurance paperwork once we hand it over. We'll have a lot of people here tomorrow (Saturday, my Dad's birthday) to move large furniture like her bed and her recliner. Mother has been having more delusions lately, but I was warned to expect that with the change in locale. Sometimes you have to laugh so you don't cry. This evening, she was watching a film and saying that 'Swiss Family Robinson' was filmed in our Midwestern hometown. Didn't we recognize the scenery in the background? She did!  ! Onward. I have a bed to strip this evening so that it is ready to go tomorrow. Thanks for the encouragement! |
